County Hospital (often referred to locally as Panteg Hospital) is the only hospital in Torfaen, Wales. It is located in the Pontypool suburb of Griffithstown.

The oldest parts of the hospital were built in 1837 as a Workhouse as part of the Pontypool Poor Law Union. It was extended throughout the Victorian period and again in the early parts of the twentieth century.

The hospital was severely downgraded in the early 1990s and lost its maternity wards and accident and emergency facility.
